Chelsea Transfers: 5 Strikers Jose Mourinho Could Sign To Bolster Attack

4. Burak Yilmaz

yilmaz Another Galatasaray striker piquing Chelsea's interest this summer is Burak Yilmaz, the 28-year-old who has taken European football by storm over the last three seasons. The Turkey international netted 24 times in the league for Gala last season and was even more prolific at former club Trabzonspor, scoring 58 goals in 93 appearances. He only completed a move to Galatasaray last summer but has attracted the interest of a number of top European clubs with Liverpool also understood to be interested as they go in search for a replacement for want-away Luis Suarez. And despite the fact Yilmaz only moved to Istanbul 12 months ago, Gala president Unal Aysal recently stated:
"We have set a price for Burak Yilmaz. We will only consider an offer which is in the best interests of the club and player. "If Burak wants to leave and our transfer demands are matched, we could accept a deal."
And Chelsea could take advantage of Galatasaray's surprisingly open approach to the player by making a formal offer this summer.
